Staromlynivka (Ukrainian: Старомлинівка; Russian: Старомлыновка, romanized: Staromlynovka) is a village in Volnovakha Raion (district) in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, located 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) south of the town of Velyka Novosilka.[1] Before 1946, it was known as Staryi Kermenchyk (Ukrainian: Старий Керменчик; Russian: Старый Керменчик, romanized: Stary Kermenchik).[2] It is located in the floodplain of the Mokri Yaly river.[3]

It is the administrative center of Staromlynivka rural hromada, one of the hromadas (communities) of Ukraine.[4]

History

The village was founded as Staryi Kermenchyk in 1779 by Greeks from Crimea.[3] The "Kermenchyk" part of the name comes from the word Т'ерменчик (Ťermenčik) from the Urum language,[5] a Turkic language spoken by some Pontic Greeks.[6] The word means "small mill", and the modern name "Staromlynivka" is a calque of this Urum-derived name into Ukrainian.[3]

In 1886, Staryi Kermenchyk was recorded as being the center of Staro-Kermenchitska volost [uk] inside Mariupol uyezd. The volost contained one other village, Krasna Poliana.[7] In the 20th century, Staryi Kermenchyk was a scene of fighting during the Russian Civil War.[3] It was the center of Staromlynivka Raion [ru] (known as Staro-Kermenchik Raion until 1946) from 1923 until 1959.[citation needed]

By 1926, Staryi Kermenchyk still had one of the largest Greek communities in Ukraine, as part of the larger community in the area between Mariupol and Donetsk.[8] It was renamed to Staromlynivka in 1946.[2] In May 1964, a local history museum was opened in Staromlynivka.[3]

2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

The village was captured by Russian forces in March 13, 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9] During the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive, Russian-installed occupation official Vladimir Rogov reported that Ukraine was aiming to take back control of the town.[10]

Demographics

The settlement had 3,373 inhabitants in 2001. The native language distribution as of the Ukrainian Census of the same year was:[11]
